Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.
